WHO: this new fucking weed and you

WHERE: the pasture

WHEN: Day 34 HIGH NOON

[ a young man in a black collar and a tattered outfit that looks like something out of a wuxia themed anime is standing in the middle of town and waving people down. he's unarmed, has tattoos of a silver metal that glows like moonlight across his arms and shoulders, and seems friendly! except, uh ]

Hello! Good afternoon! I've come here to prewarn you all that I intend on utterly destroying this community, down to the last child and the last stone of the last standing building, and leaving it a smoking husk incapable of sustaining any civilization, to protect you all from the inevitable march of progress into tyranny.

Only striking me down utterly and without mercy can save you all from this fate.

As a show of good sport, I will invite attempts on my life starting now.

[ for those of you who can sense power levels uhhhhh his power level is high though. ]

I feel as though framing it as 'for no purpose beyond your stated purpose' is a little unfair.

[chasseurdebeaute]

Ah! Pardon, that does imply I don't believe your stated purpose is legitimate! But that is merely a difference in viewpoints.

[debatemebro]

But to answer the question, yes, I do intend that.

[chasseurdebeaute]

And this is a prewarning! How much in advance?

[debatemebro]

One year and one day.

[chasseurdebeaute]

Oh, that is more time than expected. I was already marveling how it seems I have a preference between how threats of genocide are issued.

[debatemebro]

If, within that year and that day, you can destroy me completely, I will no longer be a threat to you.

[chasseurdebeaute]

Ohlàlà, you are inviting free attempts for that whole period? Or is that merely a statement of fact?

[debatemebro]

I may retaliate at future attempts. Only today is free.

[chasseurdebeaute]

I don't expect anyone will take you up on it today, monsieur! But if you are feeling generous perhaps you can say the first some number of attempts are free.

[debatemebro]

I wouldn't want to encourage anyone to develop a killing habit as a result of my leniency. The risk will remain.

[chasseurdebeaute]

Mm, that is certainly sensible! Why the concern over it, as a creature intending on this community's demise?

[debatemebro]

If I am killed, your community will need to continue to exist. I won't invite a casual attitude to murder more than necessary.

[chasseurdebeaute]

Fufu, a practical approach to mass destruction that allows room for hope. Mm, perhaps somewhat ritually? It seems my view of what a village-destroying monster is like is being challenged!

[debatemebro]

For example, I also destroy towns, cities, and kingdoms.

[chasseurdebeaute]

Perhaps we are lucky in some way that it is only this small village here that has become a target for the year. Ah, though it may be that a great beast has ravaged it once before already.
